Vienna, Dec. 28—There is a sec- ond king in Kurope without a king- as a result of the war. Peter of Serbia is today mno better off than the King of the Belgians, Karageor- goviteh is a fugitive before the ad- vance of the Central Powers and Bulgarian troops. His two capitals, Eelgrade and Nish, are in the hands of the invaders. Peter traveled Krusevatch he dom, For a time King in a special train. At had to abandon movable court. As he stood in the station building of that town and waited for the automobile that was to take him to other parts, tears stream- cd down his cheeks. One of his dwindling entourage murmured a few comforting words, to these King Peter merely noddcd. Today he is satd 1o be in Ttaly. In many respects King Peter is the most dramatic figure of the European war. Two regicides are intimatel connected with his history, the mu der of his predecessor, Alexander Obrenovitch, and his Queen, Draga. and the assassination of the Arci duke of Austria, the Dual Monarck heir presumptive. ‘There are thos who claim that King Peter knew of the two plots, that, indeed, he was the instigator of the former. How true this is would be hard to say the absence of more evidence than has so far be# produced. Certain it is only that King Peter showed uo inclination to be severe with the re- gicides in either case. He even man- aged to be on good terms with Ma- jor Misitch, arch villian of the crime in the old Konak of Belgrade thir- teen years ago. Predecessor Foully Murdered. Peter Karageorovitch never forgot, and never was permitted to forget, that he had taken the place of = man who had heen foully murdered. Only a few sovereigns consented to meet him, and he was always so ill at ease in the presence of strangers that he usually shunned them. King Peter's family, it is said, is of Gypsy origin. The original Kar- georovitch, or “son of Black George,™ however, was a shepherd. King Peiar himself spent much of his life in Switzerland. where the summons 1o Serbia's ill-fated throne reached him. In League With Russia. Shorlly after his election to kingship, Teter entered into close relations with the Russian crown. A large annual revenue was settled up- on him with the understanding that in all matters affecting Serbia's for- eign policy. he was to keep Russia's interests on the Balkan Peninsula in mind. X The attitude of the Serbian Liberal made such a course by Russia able. This party had favored the establishment of a republic in Serbia after Alexander and Draza had been murdered. This, and the fact that the Liberals in those days were not the ardent pan-Slavisrs which they hecame later, recommend- ed the reinforcement of the Serbian crown financially. In Petrograd it was felt that Russia needed a re- liable agent in the Balkans, nor could it be overlooked there that experi- ments in republican government by a Slav people were not calculated to make life for the Romanoff dynasty easier. TFor twelve years, Peter drew his Russian revenues, and, it is asserted here, never lost an op- portunity to serve in return. The arrangement made Serbia a. veritable appendix to Russia, and, o far as the Huropean war has now progressed, proved Serbia’s undoing. Whether ov not King Peter will ever rule in Ser- bia is hard to say at this moment; in the Central Pow- the Delief, of course, is that Ser and its king are no more. the ia RUBBER ON OSCAR I SEIZED BY BRITISH Fifty-five Bags Contraband in P: Mail Taken From Ford's Peace Ship. London, Dec. 20 A British official statement jssued last night says: “It is ascertained that fifty-five bags of rubber. all consigned to a well- known enemy forwarding agent if Sweden. were removed from the par- cel mail on board the steamship Osear IL. The estimated weight of the rub- ber seized is about 4,000 pounds. The remainder of the mail, which con- sisted of 734 bags. was handed over to the post office for immediate trans- misgion to its destination.” The Oscar II is the, vessel which carried the Henry Ford peace party to Europe. On the voyage across, she wag taken into Kirkwall by the Brit- ish authorities and her Argo ex- amined. 'The Oscar 1I was detained for more than twenty-four hours, but was aliowed to proceed on December 16. There were reports at the time that part of the cargo was contraband and that a prize court would take the matter into consideration. BARNES TO AP AL, New York, Dec. 30.—Counsel for William Barnes announced vesterday that an appeal will be taken to the ap- pellate division of the supreme court in the suit for libel brought by Parnes against ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, which resulted in a ver- dict for the defendant. This action has now been made possible by the formal entry in Syracuse a few days ago of the judgment of the lower court, and the payment by Barnes of the costs of the suit. { strongly . men would 'BRITISH SOLVING RECRUITING ISSUE Cabinet on Way to Agreemem— Asquith Finds Supporters London, Dec. 30, 1:45 a. m.—In or- der to give time for a possible recon- ciliation of conflicting opinions on the récruiting question, a cabinet council, which was called for today, has been further postponed until Friday and there is very great hope that it will then he found that the cabinet is in practical agreement on the acceptance of Premier Asquith's proposals. it has become prime minister found much greater support than had been supposed, some of the anti-conscriptionist min- isters having realized that a peculier situation calls for exceptional treat- ment. Among these are A, J.

Sir Edward Grey, the foreign sec- retary, looks with great apprehen- sion upon anv signs of disagreement as having a bad effect upon the allics and is working hard on the path of conciliation. and if it furns out that the line the government has chosen is not for compulsery direct enlisi- ment, bt for compulsory attesta- tion, along the lines of the Terb: scheme, it is very prohable that most of the doubtfnl ministers may ha found supporting the premier and that the resignations will he confined to {wo or three ministers of lessor importance, such as Tewis Harcou first commissioner of -vorks. and Sir John Simon. home secrotary, whove departure would not Involve a ser- ious crisis. Strong Point for Unify. A strong point making for un on the new government policy is that it has met with much less opposition from the liberal press than might have been expected. The royal in- fluence is also being exertéd, the King having publicly intimated his special desire that all the men who attested under Earl Derby should wear svmbolic armlet issued in connection with (he scheme. Much will depend the labor’ party, opposed the on the attitude which, although to compulsion. may possibly be swaved Mr. Hender- son’s view that the exceptional cumstances justify exceptio: According to the “Daily the new bill will be a short measurn calling upon unmarried men between the ages of 19 and 40 years to attest in their age groups within a specified period of time, and under the same privileges as the Drhby recruvits with privileges as the Derby recruits with uation Explained. The following explanation of the cabinet sitnation will appear in the newspapers of ILondon this morning furnished by the press association: — *‘It has been generally expected thas Premier Asquith's pledge to married be carried out in letter and spirit, but the view is held in some quarters that a further chance for single men to enroll would not he inconsistent with the fulfillment of that pledge. “The premier himself rejected this interpretation of his words and in- formed the cabinet that resort to compulsion was called for in his op- inion, not only to carry through an honorable obligation, but also it was needed in the present state of the war to provide a steady flow of rein- forcements for the various battle fronts. “On the question of compulsory service for single men, with relega- tions to later groups of men engag- ed in reserved occupations, there is no difference in principle within the cabinet. Until the details of the pro- cedure are definitely settled, there is no expectation of personal changes in the administration. Tt is recognized, however,, that to pass at the present stage from the well-defined case of single men and to set up a general obligation to military service on tl.r part of the adult population would introduce difficulties.” ay Not Apply to Treland. i ¢ 2 undoubted that the govern- ment will carry a majority of the House of Commons with them for any reasonable scheme, and anything like organized obstruction is unthinkable, For the smooth passage of the bill it is possible the measure will not ap- ply to Treland. The case of Ireland is exceptional, since registration there has only been carried out in a partial manner and there has been no atten- tation there under the Derby group system. The cabinet will do its u‘- most to meet all objections and secure a measure of general agreement, which the premier declares essential’ of AFTER OYSTER DEALERS, vernment to Prosecute for Adding ¥resh Water to Shucked Oysters, Washington, Dec. 30.—Prosecution of oyster dealers found guilty of the practice of adding fresh water to shucked oysters so as to greatly in- crease their size in violation of the fcod and drugs act, will he recom- snended by the department of agri- culture.
